    Hi Mike and other food lovers, as a Vietnamese I have a special tip for you. Next time you go to a Pho restaurant you should order a side small bowl of rare beef. In there you have a poached egg, meatballs, rare beef slices, scallions, cilantro depending on the restaurant you go to. Add just few of the herbs and black pepper to it but don't add the hot sauce and black sauce yet. Make sure you ask for few ginger slices to put in your bowl. Now you can taste it and add other condiments to like. This bowl is pretty much just normal bowl of Pho but without the noodle, however the favor is much more intense. It's the best way to kick the hangover from the night before, I guarantee.

  • @SendMoreParamedics13

    Didn't know you were in Vietnam! I'm a Canadian, living here in Hanoi. So many good things to try. Hope you have a Hanoi video coming up because there are so many great local specialties here as well.
    As far as your condiment selection goes: that's what it's there for! One of the best parts of Vietnamese noodle dishes is that there are so many condiments that you can personalize your bowl exactly to your tastes.
    One thing that's tough to get used to coming from North America, is definitely the dog thing. There are dogs tied up all over the place. Sometimes they are "guard dogs", but sometimes it seems like for no reason. And they sit there all day. It's a bit sad for sure. I wanna take em' all home!

    Mikey, I say you just need to by a flat in Việt Nam and make it your vacation home.
    Come back every year and stay for 3 months and go touring from the very bottom of the country to the very North (Hà Nội); then go back South to Sài Gòn again - then fly back to the US.
    By the way, the Whole right side of our Vietnam is 1 super long Beach, Dude!

    I went to Hanoi a couple of years ago and I had a bowl of Pho for the first time. That was the only time that keeps reminding me that I have to go back AGAIN !!! just for a bowl of Pho. I can't have a bowl of Pho anymore in Thailand as I keep comparing it to the one I had in Hanoi. Gosh, I really have to plan the trip.

      DBR Liamg you need to eat northen pho at right places. Try pho Bat Dan and then you will completely regret about every word you said. Saying northen pho is wildy can be seen as an American eating pizza with pineapple and ketchup on it but underlook the original Italian pizza.

    I love Vietnamese food; am viet born American btw :)
    But I’m just going to go confront it; eating dog meat in Vietnam is very rare, especially in the south. Many people, if asked if they eat it, will laugh and shrug it off in a manner than shows they feel a bit uncomfortable about the topic, but that the topic is prevalent enough that it’s not a huge thing. As great as Vietnam is, there are often dogs chained up outside like the one in the video, and it always makes me so sad, and ill just cry when I spot it. It makes me so sad; they don’t view it as animal abuse though; they actually love their dogs very much, but...
    I remember there was a Vietnamese police officer who had a puppy. It was black with a brown tummy, muzzle, and eyebrows; looked very cute! I think it was a Pomeranian. He would often buy meat/chicken/vegetables/ etc for the dog to eat after ripping it up tiny, and when he had ice cream from the nearby store, the dog always got a lick. He was always outside of my uncle’s motorbike dealership with his dog sleeping on the chair he’d bring with him; if not, on his lap or under the chair. Hope he’s still doing well! I actually saw him again the last time I went, but we drove past him..! :’(
